@Spikeanestor: You and I are the only people who think so. Most open world games don't do anything for me, either. Bethesda got it right, though, and I trust Zelda will, also. Otherwise, I stay away from the "genre" because it's just stale. It was only mildly interesting back in GTA3 on PS2, but even back then I was like, okay, so unless I do the boring story (comprised of go here, do this, kill him, kill them, now kill him but with a time limit, escort him, be delivery boy, blah blah) then none of these collectibles scattered about matter? The hookers I screw, pay, and kill are meaningless?

I am ranting so I'll stop but open worlds need to learn from Bethesda (which, honestly, itself needs to evolve some now).

Tl;dr: Most open world suck, Bethesda is cool, either evolve the formula or drop it.

I played Brotherhood, Revelations, and Assassins Creed 2 mainly for Ezio I thought he was a great character. I tried Assassins Creed 3 I thought it was a little dry. Assassins Creed 4 was alright love the high jacking of the ships. After that haven't really been into Assassins Creed probably because of the yearly releases of the titles now. Too any other games peak my interest.

the last one I've played was black flag.... all the way through, and that was a good game. Although the controls were dated, it still held my attention and put some faith back into the series for me...Until I played Unity, The graphics are pretty, but the cumbersome revamped controls, the eye brow raising glitches, and over bearing side missions killed me.
I'm all for open world games, but in this sense, it does nothing to add to the story and some missions (side missions) are so asinine it makes you want to skip them all together. It feels like they tried to cram as much as possible into a game that already had a lot going on. Just to give you an example of how ridiculous it was.. I spent 15 minutes trying to tail someone that wasn't there due to a glitch, and even after resetting the game the character still wasn't there to start the tail sequence. I just gave up and traded it in for store credit for another game

They really haven't changed their formula since the first game...which, some might prefer. I'm not really bothered by that.

The biggest flaw with AC series is Ubisoft not knowing how to create a world that doesn't feel artificial. Every character feels so stale and robotic, unlike a Rockstar game which gives different personalities to their NPC characters. It's the same reason I passed on Watch Dogs and why I'm not holding my breath for The Divison.

If he didnt like the series from the start I have to question why he would want to play each release.

The series sell well enough and the are plenty of people who do enjoy the games and I include myself in that.

I have said it before and I'll say it again, what is gained from writing these negative opinion pieces, wouldnt we all prefer to have a positive articles about our games?

2, brotherhood and Black Flag were very good!! The rest were Garbage
